Items to be Reported in Annual Report: Application Area Maps. Response: Virginia Tech continues to maintain the landscaped campus through several different methods. Current projects include reforestation of areas and planting of wildflower gardens each year depending on funding and weather. According to the annual recycling rate report, 150 tons of waste wood (chipped or mulched) was recycled and over 250 tons of yard waste (composted or mulched) was recycled. All these materials were collected from daily landscaping activities. Virginia Tech has been awarded Tree Campus USA for the fifth consecutive year by the Arbor Day Foundation. The award honors colleges and universities for effective campus forest management and for engaging staff and students in conservation goals. ( Virginia Tech hopes to allow three native meadows to naturally convert to a reforested land area. If so, new informational signs will be installed to educate visitors of the stormwater benefits of natural forest cover. Documents Provided: i. Tree Campus USA 2008 article ii.
